Hiding manifest entries with maven

Question

When building a jar file with maven, it will create a manifest file in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF. Its contents currently are:

Manifest-Version: 1.0                            


        

Answer 1

Add

false

to configration section of maven-jar-plugin in your pom.xml to completely remove default properties:

    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-jar-plugin
    
      
        
          false
        
      
    
  

to customize it (remove just username):

    
            org.apache.maven.plugins
            maven-jar-plugin
